Why won t the VPN work in McAfee?

Why is my McAfee VPN not working on my phone?

I was connected via the VPN from another location (China) using my phone.

What am I supposed to do, if this occurs? Thanks for your time! There are many things that could have caused it. I will try to list some of them for you, hoping that they will help: You were connected to the VPN from somewhere else. You used a VPN service with their own app, therefore McAfee had nothing to do with your connection. The only thing it does is that it uses the VPN tunnels and forwards traffic in the VPN network. If you were actually in China, which is where your traffic is being routed, McAfee had nothing to do with it.

You installed third-party apps. McAfee has nothing to do with these, they are not part of its VPN network The same thing happened when your VPN was activated and something went wrong. McAfee did not provide you with an installer of the VPN client. Check what you downloaded. If you have the VPN client, check if McAfee created any shortcut or files on your desktop.

Why won t the VPN work in McAfee?

I am not familiar with VPNs in particular but McAfee is generally well known for its anti-virus software so maybe a combination of anti-virus software and a VPN makes things worse.

Also there is a free product called pihole that runs on most OSs and makes blocking all ads pretty easy but it's not 100% effective.

In general try changing DNS providers or a VPN provider if you are getting blocked for DNS or trying to use a different OS to use either pihole or adblockplus to block ads.
